(NaturalNews) Authors of a new report published online in Mayo Clinic Proceedings say that dramatically higher prices for cancer medications are beginning to have a negative effect on patient care in the US.

Americans with cancer pay 50 percent to 100 percent more for the same patented drug than patients in other countries...

Big Pharma's exorbitant cancer drug prices are due to corrupt monopolies, not development costs, study shows - NaturalNews.com

I don't trust the pharmaceutical industry. They make money off of treating cancer, not curing it, and it shows. Why would I ever trust them with anything?

So this comes as no surprise to me.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Trick is, why isn't anybody going after big pharma for their criminal price gouging of Americans? Betting they pay politicians very well to leave them alone.

No, they believe you should buy the many products available off websites like oh....naturalnews.com and ignore decades and decades of proven medical progress.

After all, these are the same crackpots that claim polio didn't go away because of vaccination and even loonier garbage.

In as much as sheeple as yourself will continue to support their lies, they have no incentive to change...
